Retinyl Palmitate (listed as an ingredient) is a form of Retinol, however, it is weaker and given that it is far down the ingredient list and has no percentage attached--I am guessing it is not really an active ingredient. If you are trying to 100% avoid anything with retinol in it, then this probably isn't for you.

I have very sensitive skin and I'm having no problems using the peel three times per week, massaging gently, and leaving the peel on for 5 minutes.

I do not use retinol...so I am not sure if it will be too harsh. I was warned by the saleslady that it could burn the longer it is left on..I didnt have that problem either. Thats all I can tell you.

I prefer the PTR version. I think it works better than Exfolikate, you need less product to get the job done, and it is cheaper. They smell similar- pumpkin pie-like. I like the gel-with-crystals texture of the PTR peel as well. The Exfolikate is thicker and you need more of it to cover your face. Overall, I'd get the PTR variety over the Kate Sommerville.

I've used both products and I can tell you that I find the Peter Thomas Roth product much better. Not only that but for what you pay for this size of a product, the value is good, too. You don't use a whole lot each time, and I just do not see the same results with Kate's product. I also find, with my somewhat sensitive skin, that I don't have burning or redness with this one as I did with Kate's.

I don't think this product will do much for acne scarring. It is very, very mild. I love the aroma and use it daily as a deep cleanser, but unless the acne scarring is very superficial and mild, I think this product will not show you much benefit.

Question

Will this PTR help remove Blackheads??

I am currently using all PTR skincare products, but having a difficult time finding a mask/ exfoliator that will remove blackheads. I have oily, acne prone skin, and have seen a world of difference since I have been using them. I would prefer to stay within the PTR line, but wasn't sure if this was the product that I would need for extraction. I will probably eventually purchase this anyway, simply for the AHA and aluminum oxide crystals....but I need to work on removal of blackheads first.

I find this product much milder than Kate Somerville's. I prefer the PTR though as the aroma is amazing, and the result is about the same. For me the PTR is gentle enough to use daily!

Absolutely use it anywhere on the face and body. This is my favorite exfoliates;the beads are so fine and polish the skin so smoothly. Good luck!

Question

Anyone try PTR resurfacer vs. Dr. Brandt microdermabrasion?

I use all PTR products for my skincare except for weekly exfoliation; for that, I use Dr. Brandt's microdermabrasion. I'm not trying to discredit Dr. Brandt's product, but I'm wondering if PTR's resurfacer is better for fading melasma and providing intense exfoliation. PTR's resurfacer is less expensive, but if the results aren't as favorable as Dr. Brandt's micro, then I'll stick with that. Melasma is my bigger problem, but the Dr. Brandt's exfoliates so well, I keep repurchasing. Incidentally, I tried the old PTR pumpkin enzyme mask a few years ago, and I didn't think it did a great job at exfoliating. I hope this new PTR resurfacer with pumpkin isn't like that. If anyone has tried both products and can offer a comparison, then I'd appreciate it. Thanks for your time.
